Although this list is not all-inclusive, we hope that now you have a better idea of some of the cruelty-free brands that make vegan-friendly cosmetics. There are also many additional brands on the market which meet these standards, though keep in mind that some parent companies may not be cruelty-free. Thus, it is up to you to decide if you wish to support them or not.

If you’re out shopping and in a bind and don’t have access to cruelty-free information, you can easily find this information as many (but not all) cruelty-free products will carry the cruelty-free bunny logo. They may also have a phrase stating “not tested on animals”. However, remember that cruelty-free and vegan do not mean the same thing. Just because a product is deemed cruelty-free, does not mean that it is vegan and it is important to read the list of ingredients to determine whether or not the product is actually vegan-friendly or not.
